2020-08-24 18:46:03Iby came back with a medium bowl with steams emitting out of it. He dropped it on table in front of her. He went back inside the kitchen and came back with the agege bread.
She watched quietly as he dragged a stool to the table and sat down. They said a little prayer before they started digging into the soft paste which was normally called, "Akamu" by the indigene's of the country.
He moaned to how delicious the meal was. He had added alot of milk and sugar.
"So.. I bought those for you." He finally said, breaking the little silence that had ensued between them.
He scooped a spoon full and pushed it into his mouth when she didn't say anything. "Using those would help you. Maybe remove these pimples off your face and the cream would maintain your skin."
She said nothing. He got tired and dropped his spoon.
"What is it, May? You ain't eating."

May husband's second mistress —the exact one she had seen the night before— who had come to unlock the door, tried to process what the lady had said. "Wait. Are you sure you're not in the wrong apartment? Cause the owner of this house isn't married yet.""If you're talking about one Mr. Edric David then yes and as I've already said, I'm his wife." She waved the ring, she hadn't had the guts to remove all these years of unhappy marriage, infront of her husband's mistress face. "Can I go in now?"Unexpectedly but thankfully the younger lady who happens to be her husband's mistress, let her in without another word said between them and with a little hesitation at the door, followed behind her into the living room to continue watching the movie.May entered her room to change her clothes. She really needed to remove them before guilty conscience killed her. Even after changing the cl

They were silent for a minute or two until she broke it."To be sincere with you May, you are a strong lady—""I'm not—""At least you've tried to be. If you're not doing it for you, you have been doing so for your child."May gulped. It hasn't been easy."But I think you've been strong for too long, May. As women, we are to stand up for each other. If it's possible that we can put an end to this, I'll be here to give you my full support. I might be just nineteen years old and still in the University but I understand your pain. I do. So many women has been there before. Like, how can we put an end to domestic abuse in this country? It's a serious matter. Men like Edric shouldn't go scot free. They should be taught a lesson." she concluded.May admired her. She wished there were more understanding women like this in the country. Women that are willing t

Edric pushed her away and walked to his room. He couldn't think of something wrong happening between him and Tina. At least not now that he was sexually aroused.For months, He'd fantasied about having her on his bed. Yesterday night, when she had arrived, she refused to sleep with him with the excuse that her journey was a long tiring one. He'd let her be but tonight was the night. He had swallowed tramadol in his office and had even worn a condom there.He meant business.He wasn't going to let today slid. "I'm leaving." was the first words that hit him once he entered the bedroom. She was seated on the bed, looking at th

Edric tore her skirt hungrily, not having the patience to remove it gently like the way lovers do. Her undies flew with it too.When she felt him inside of her, she winced while he moaned heavily. He seemed to be the only one enjoying it whereas May turned her head to the left side and silently cried.Being starved of sex for all these years, she was surprisingly tight. He liked the way it felt like she was squeezing him, crushing his walls. He couldn't believe he had been missing this for six years. Good six years.What was he even thinking? He mentally thanked Tina for making today happen. If she hadn't left, he would have been with her instead of his wife. The difference would have been that, he wouldn't need to struggle his way into her like he was doing with his wife. The foolish woman thought she was a match to have a battle with him. The thought only caused him to move to and fro with great force as he pinned both h

May was sitting on a stool, letting the drops of water, from the shower, to fall on her hair and down her shoulders. Soaking her clothes and making it hug her body. Her eyes were transfixed on the floor and he couldn't tell if she was crying or if it was just the water.Iby stood by the door and watched her wordlessly. He didn't know what he was to say."There is fire. Fire, Iby." She started. Her voice, almost in a whisper.He didn't know which surprised him. If it was the fact that she had noticed him enter the bathroom and decided to pretend she hadn't or what she had just said.He looked around, confusion marred on his face. "Fire? Where?" he asked.She laughed cynically. "You don't get it do you? There is fire in my head, burning in my soul, in my heart. It's burning.. It's destroying everything. I hardly have control over it.""What are you saying?" He asked with wid

"Wake up." a familiar voice whispered. "Please.. Wake up May."She tried to open her eyes as she held unto the green bed sheets tightly with both hands on her sides as if it was stopping her to. "I beg you, May. Please.. I need you. Maryam also needs you." The voice, from a low whisper, began to echo louder. The owner of the voice sounded desperate.She squeezed the bed sheets tighter whilst trying hard to ignore the excruciating pain coming from her injured wrist. "Please.. Stay. Stay with me."She forcefully flew her eyes open on hearing that. Everything was blurry including the figure who was towering above her, looking at her with a sad expressi

"Big sister?" Iby broke the sudden silence by asking, looking from the young lady (who just claimed to be May's younger sister) to May in confusion."May, is this some kind of joke? Is it true?" He asked with disbelief written all over his face. May tried to find her voice which she seem to have lost due to the shock of seeing her younger sister again after all these years.She stammered, "Uh-Uh. Yes, Iby."Iby gave her a disapproved look. "But I thought you said-""I know what I said." She quickly cuts in then, gulped. She looked at anywhere else but him. She didn't want to see the hurt in his eyes. "Ple

"Woman, you better provide your son or else..." the police man threatened, "We've been to his house but he is not there. You have to tell us where he is right now or you would follow us to the police station."Mama Edric panicked as she kept on dialing Edric's phone number but it was switched off."I can't get to him. Please officer.. " She pleaded as beads of sweat covered her face. She wiped it off with the end of her lose wrapper. "He must've travelled to calabar for the couple's get together thing he is having with his siblings.

A new yearNew years eve were always a beehive of activities for May's Household. The night before new year, Iby would clean up the entire house with the little help of twelve year old Maryam. If she wasn't helping her step father out, then she was busy playing with her younger brother, Oyins, who was just two years of age. As for May, she would go to the market and buy the food stuff she needed for cooking.After they were all done with the house activities, they took their baths and went to church for the cross over service. They turned off all the lights in church and lit a candle once the time struck twelve o'clock midnight. Out cry or shouts of joy followed with people gyrating and dancing because they'd live to see a brand new year. Meanwhile, other people didn't get to see the previous year.Before May and her family left the church, they took prayers of prosperity a

"When i found out about your pregnancy, i told you to abort the child because I wasn't ready to become a father," Edric continued, "But you refused.""But.. But I remember telling you that i was scared." May reminded him, "I couldn't abort the child. By the way, you recommended a quack doctor and I couldn't risk my life. What if something had gone wrong? Like my womb got damaged and I couldn't get pregnant again, would you have accepted and married me?""May, you could've just swallowed the contraceptives I gave to you. It could've prevented you from getting pregnant.."May rolled her eyes at him, "Well, you shouldn't have eat it raw then.""May, I didn't invite you to my room that night.

It was obvious May had forgotten. So to remind her, Edric had to start from the beginning because every story had one. Since May wasn't planning on letting him into her house, he stood outside and explained his own reasons to her. As he talked, everything played in May's head, taking her back to seventeen. Way back to the time Edric's father was employed. To the time her Dad had promised Edric that he would sponsor his studies abroad because of how intelligent he was and to that night. That particular night that spoilt everything.May tiptoed down the stairs quietly as she could, looking her left and right side to be sure no one saw her sneaking out of the main building and heading towards the Gateman's house that was located just few inches close to the black giant gate.The Gateman's house had two rooms, a portable kitchen and bathroom.

"What would happen now?" Iby asked May who visited him in prison with food and water."I don't know." She sighed, in a sad mood."Would you get back together with him?" Iby asked."Who?" May asked confused.He motioned his head towards Tega, who had accompanied May to the prison and who was standing at the far end of the hot room, waiting for May."No." She told him, "The only man I want to get back together with is you.""But I'm in prison. I'll be here for two years—""I'm willing to wait for you."Iby placed his hand on hers that were on the table separating them, "You seriously don't have to do this. I've only spent almost two months here and it already feels like years. I don't want you to wait for me. Let yourself to love someone else.. Study hard to get a degree, be a good mother and get married to a good man."
MAY Chapter sixty four.
For the first time in a long while, May actually went down on her knees and pleaded with Edric to let Iby go but he refused. He was bent on making Iby see the four walls of prison, forgetting that he was a dough bag himself, a scum but May had only divorced him instead of taking him to court for domestic abuse.Not like she couldn't arrest him or make him suffer for what he did to her. Been the governor's daughter would've paid off and make it a lot easier of course. But she didn't want to be seen as using her Fathers influence, wealth and authority to her advantage or gossipped to have arrested Edric only because he arrested Iby. There was still something she needed to shape in her life and that was, to stop listening to what the world had to say about her.It was because of Iby's arrest, she found herself standing in fro

"Lies!" Edric shouted, hitting his fist on the table immediately Iby finished his explanation, "You hear me? All what you've said are lies and I'm not going to buy it.""Edric," May turned to him. Her voice low, already too exhausted with everything. "One thing I know Iby for is that he doesn't tell lies, no matter what."Edric wouldn't take it, "No. As far as I am concerned your visitor here is not only a killer but a liar, making up excuses as to why he couldn't save Elene.""Edric listen to yourself. I know you too well. If you were in Iby's shoes, you'd not even think twice. If Ebiere was your sister, and Elene was his, you would have knocked her down on purpose just so she'll get out of the way for you to take your sister to the hospital." May defended, reasonably, "It is only

It was at that very day the accident choose to occur; just directly across the old family house. That day, Edric had graced his siblings get together and Elene had ran out excitedly to buy her brother a drink without knowing that it was going to be the end of her dear life. Her twin brother had claimed to have seen the killers face.That killer was presently sitting opposite him at the dinning table with complete shock written all over his face while Edric dug his fingers into his palm, fighting with the urge to pounce on his sisters killer and squeeze the life out of him.To everyone at the dinning table, the visitor happens to be a killer but to May, he was literally everything to her. It was unbelievable. In fact, May ceased to believe it for the Iby she knew couldn't even hurt a fly.

As for Edric, he had lost hope in retrieving his money back from Bella. She was no where to be found and her line was never going through. It didn't take long for him to accept the fact that she had lied to him from the start about her family's background and now, had ran away with his money. That huge amount of money. It was frustrating, annoying and making him think alot that he lost concentration at work. When his boss couldn't take all the errors Edric would always make at work, he sacked him and that only made matters worse for Edric.He knew he couldn't get another job so easily since he wasn't a graduate but he tried his best, searching for other jobs. On looking at his curriculum vitae, his application was always turned down by the manager of the company saying that Edric wasn't qualified enough to work with them. When he tried more companies and was never accepted, it got him depressed. The sudden turn in his life was making him lose his mind slow

"Hey, Hey, hold your horses there. Iby is not just any guy, Tega. At least, not to me. Why would you lie to him? Are we dating?"He drew closer to her with a smile, "Don't you think its about time we do? It's taking too long for crying out loud." He traced his fingers down the side of her face just like Iby would've. The only difference is, he wasn't Iby and this gave her a stinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.She slapped his hand off her, "We are not dating and we would never date.""Okay, I know you're angry because of my little lie so I'm sorry. But did you see how Iby was looking at you? I knew immediately that he has feelings for you and I can't stand that. It makes me so jealous, May. That's why." Tega explained, hoping to be forgiven."You're jealous to a fault, Tega." May shook her head in negative. "And that's enough reason why we can't be together. Not today, not tomorrow and not even in o
